This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Facsimile of two pages of the manuscript copy of the Martyrology of
Gorman in the Royal Library, Brussels loface the title page.
The metrical martyrology, now for the first time printed, '
composed in the latter part of the twelfth century by an Irish
abbot, and is contained in a single manuscript transcribed in or
about the year 1630 by one of the Four Masters, Michael
O'Clery, to whose industrious and accurate pen we owe the
preservation of much of the ecclesiastical and historical litera-
ture of Celtic Ireland.
I propose in this preface, first, to describe the manuscript in
which the martyrology is contained ; secondly, to notice the
author of the poem, and the place in which it was composed ;
thirdly, to consider some of the characteristics of its language ;
fourthly, to explain the metre in which it is written ; fifthly, to
give some account of its contents ; sixthly, to notice the glosses
on the text ; and lastly, to say a word or two on the present
edition.
I. Description of the Manuscript.
This is a paper manuscript in the Bibliothtque Royale,
Brussels, marked 5100-4. It is bound in vellum with a piece of
calfskin stitched on the back, which is inscribed thus ; Martyr-
ologia et Carmina hibernica. On the left cover is the
following note in a seventeenth century hand : Cent inens mar-
tyrologia S. .-Engus-sij Mariani Gormani et Tamlactense etgenea-
logias Sanciomm et plura alia opuscula. It is a thin quarto,
almost wholly in the hand of Michael O'Clery ; and contains
214 leaves. Of these the first five are foliated: the book is then
paginated from i to 67 ; and the rest of the book is foliated in
pencil, from 68 to 244.

Then a scribe's note (f 93^) dated 9th Feb., 1630,
stating that the book from which the body of the F^Hre
(Oengusso) was transcribed had been written by Siod-
rach ua Maelconaire in the year 1533.
ff. 94*-ii9i'. Fi'iire Oengusso, the Martyrology of Oengus the
culdee, edited from three other MSS., by the present
writer, in 1S80. This copy is, as usual, copiously glossed,
and yields some good various readings. It is followed by
an Irish note, at the foot of f iig'*, stating {inter alia)
that this Oengus was the author of the Saltair na Rann.

ff. 124^197*'. The unique copy of the Martyrology of Gorman,
preceded by a testimony dated 18 Aug., 1633, and a
preface, and followed by four quatrains in rinnard. The
martyrology is not only foliated in pencil, but paginated
in ink from i to 141.
The collotype prefixed to this book, will give an accurate
idea of the size of the pages, the number of lines in each, the
handwriting and arrangement of the poem and its glosses,
Marks of punctuation are rare. The single comma alone is
used. Marks of length and puncta ddentia are often omitted.
As to forms of letters: both u and v are used indifferently
for the vowel u and semivowel v ; R and [i for r ; s and |- for s ;
a: for the diphthong ae. Initial capitals seldom occur, save at
the beginning of each stanza.
Contractions are rare : kj. for callainn : a flat stroke for n or
er ; a curved stroke (-^) for w. ; a waving stroke for ur \ 3 for
us ; g' for gri ; q' for qui ; eps for epscop ; d for con, rnc for
mac.
The article, possessive pronouns, prepositions and other pro-
clitics are, as a rule, written with the words to which they relate.

II. The Author of the Martyrology, and the Place
IN which it was composed.
The author of the Martyrology now published was Mael-
Maire hua Gormdin, otherwise called Marianus Gorman, abbot
of Cnoc na n-Apstol * the Hill of the Apostles,' a monastery of
Canons Regular of St. Augustine^ at Knock close to the town of
Louth. All that is really known of him is derived from the
preface to his Martyrology, which uses the first person
\rodlierbsamar,fuaraviar, tuccsamar) when referring to the author,
» Gorman would naturally regard with special veneration the saint to whom
the Augustinian Rule was ascribed. We find accordingly St. Augustine's
natalis commemorated on Aug. 28, his octave on Sept. 14, and his trans-
lation on Oct. II.
THE AUTHOR OF THE MARTYROLOGY.
and may well have been written by Gorman himself, though
Colgan ascribes it to an ancient scholiast.
Hence it appears that Gorman was abbot of Cnoc na n-Apstol
(otherwise called Cnoc na sengin, ' the Hill of the Pismires '),
and that he composed his Martyrology while Ruaidre hua Con-
chobair was King of Ireland, while Gelasius or Gilla mac Liac
was archbishop of Armagh, and while Aed hua Cdillaidhi
was bishop of Oriel, />., the present counties of Louth, Armagh,
and Monaghan. Ruaidre began to reign as monarch of
Ireland about the year 1166' and retired in 11S3 to the
monastery of Cong, where he died in iigg. Giila mac Liac
was archbishop of Armagh from 1137 to 1173, when he died.'
Aed hua Cailtaidhi was bishop of Oriel from 1139 to 1182."
The result is, if the statements in the preface arc true, that
Gorman must have composed his Marlyrology at some time
between 1 156 and 1 174, ' circa annum 1 167,' says Colgan.'
It must, however, be admitted that the Martyrology com-
memorates two saints — Gilla mac Liacc at March 27, and Gilla
moChaJdbeo at March 31, of whom the former died in 1173, the
latter in 1174. We are therefore driven to one of two hypo-
theses — either the statements in the preface are twt true, and
the Martyrology was composed after 1174, or the commemor-
ations just mentioned were added after the completion of the
poem. The latter hypothesis seems the more probable. The
tradition of the Irish literati agrees with the preface, and the
commemorations in question are at the ends of the stanzas in
which they respectively occur, and may well have been inserted
in accordance with the suggestion in the preface : ' If defects are
found therein, let the erudite . . . add ; but let them not
-Spoil the course of the poem.' Who made these insertions
does not appear. In 1181, according to the Four Masters,
Maelmuire Hua Dunain, Abbot of Cnoc na Sengin in Louth,
died. Of him Colgan, Acta Sanctorum Hibeniiae, p. 737.
says: * Hie videtur esse B. Marianus Gormanus, author Martyr-
ologit, 4 nobis iaudatus, quem constat anno 1 172 fuisse eiusdem
monasterii Abbatem, ut praefatio eius Martyrologio prefixa,
tradit' If Colgan's conjecture be right — and Lanigan" agrees
with him — the insertions may have been made by Gorman
himself. But I know of no sure instance of an Irishman being

AntuUs of tnisfallen and ihe Annals of Boyle agree in this.

called at one time after his paternal, at another after his
maternal, grandfather.
Gorman is commemorated in the Martyrology of Donegal at
July 3. He was probably canonised, not by the Apostolic See,
but by his metropolitan, the archbishop of Armagh, just as In
1153, St. Gauitier, Abbot of Pontoisc. was canonised by the
archbishop of Rouen.
The monastery of Ciioc na nApstol, or Cnoc na Sengin, in
which Gorman probably wrote, was founded by Donnchad hiia
Cerbaill, King of Airg^ill (Oriel), in honour of SS. Paul and
Peter. The best evidence of these statements is an Irish entry,
dated Jan. 1, 1 170, in an anliphonary formerly belonging to the
cathedral church of Armagh, but now in the library of Trinity
College, Dublin, Class B, Tab. I. No. i. This entry is printed
in Petrie's work on the RoundTowers, p. 391, with the following
translation : —
KaUnd. Januar. V. feria lun. X. A nno Domini MCLXX. A
prayer for Donnchadh O'Carrol, supreme King of Airgiall, by
whom were made the book of Cnoc na nApstal at Louth and
the chief books of the order of the year, and the chief books of
the Mass. It was this great king" who founded the entire
monastery both [as to] stone and wood, and gave territory and
land to it, for the prosperity of his soul in honour of [SS.]
Paul and Peter. By him the church throughout the land of
Oirghiall was reformed, and a regular bishopric was made, and
the church was placed under the jurisdiction of the bishop. In
his time tithes were received, and the marriage [ceremony] was
assented to, and churches were founded, and temples and
cloictluachs^ were made, and monasteries of monks and canons
and nuns were re-edified, and nemhed^ were made. These are
especially the works which he performed for the prosperity [of
his soul] and reign, in the land of Airghiall, namely, the
monastery of monks on the bank of the Boyne [both as to]
stone and wooden furniture' and book,' and territory and land,
in which [monastery] there are one hundred monks and three
hundred conventuals, and the monastery of canons of Termann
Feickin,^ and the monastery of nuns, and the great church of
Tirmann Fheia'n, and the church of Lepadh Feichin" and the
church of * * •.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE MARTYROLOGY. xii
So the Four Masters at the year 1 148 : ' The church of Cnoc
na Sengin was finished by the bishop Ua Caellaidhe and
Donnchadh ua Ccarbhaill, and was consecrated by Ua Morgair,
a successor of Patrick ; and a neimeadit, i.e., ecclesiastical land,
was assigned to it in Lughmadh.'
The meagre annals of this monastery are contained in
Archdall's Monasticon Hibernicum, Dublin, 1786, pp. 466-469.
In the year 1342 its temporalities are said to be insufficient for
the support of the canons and their servants. In 141 7 the
abbot pays a fine of 13^. 4//. for receiving a mere Irishman into
the profession of the house. In the 31st of Henry VIII (1540)
the abbot surrenders the priory and, apparently, all its posses-
sions in the county of Louth. In 1603 James (I) grants the priory
and all its possessions in the same county to Sir John King,
Knt., at the yearly rents of 5j. for the priory and 16/. SJ. ^. for
the lands, tithes, etc.
III. On the language of the Martyrology.
Irish manuscripts of the fourteenth to the seventeenth
centuries generally exhibit a mixed language, the scribe
sometimes modernising and sometimes leaving intact the
spelling and grammatical forms of the book which he tran-
scribed ; but though the manuscript of the Martyrology and
Gorman is only about 260 years old, it may be taken to
represent, save in a very few instances,' the spelling and gram-
mar of Middle-Irish in the latter half of the twelfth century.
This is owing partly to the stringency of the metrical rules to
which the author was subject, and which rendered his work less
likely to be altered by successive copyists, but chiefly to the care
and learning of the scribe, Michael O'Clery. Here follows a list
of the principal characteristics of the language of the Martyro-
logy as contrasted with the older Irish of the Glosses, the
Hymns and the Book of Armagh.
I. Phonetics.
First as to phonetics. No distinction is made between final e,
i and /'«. Short a is often put for o. In organ (borrowed
from orgimtni) the length of the a is due to the analogy of the
numerous native words ending in -dn. Pretonic and posttonic e
' Thus O'Clery sometimes, though rarely, puts ao or aei for the older ae
or di; ea for the older e : io for (,■ cc ioT g ; d for t (rnfiilitr, June 9) ; and
iforfi {eps(oib). O'Clery has also, as a rule, marked with a dot the infected
(or as native grammatians say, aspirated) g, d, 6, and in. As this represents
the inidition current in the seventeenth century, I have here followed him,
merely replacing the dot by A. At Aug. 3, 1. 4, and in gL 5, the dot over
Ihe/ oi_fiit' and FruAlna means that the/ is ' eclipsed,' i.f ., pronounced like v.
PJ^EFACE.
' "become a in Darerca { = Der-i'rce). The diphthongs ai {di) and
oe {6i) are confounded, ^ is put for 6e in &bnat, Sinn, and in
chaerem, caere, ae is written for ai (the umlauted a). For the
prefix air-, er- we often have ur- (e.g., t4rg?ia, Jan. 20, Feb. 4)-
Infected * is replaced by infected w, in naein = O.lr. «<5/*, and
the prefix mm- = O.lr. ttei>: The jh in fromtha, Jan. I s = Lat,
probattts, dates from the Old Irish period.
Aphaeresis of the initial vowels of proclitics is frequent Thus
sin, Jan. i, for the older isin, con for the older ofOK, and na for
the older inna.
Irrational or svarabhaktt vowels appear: Pet-a-r = Pefrus,
Jan, n, Patroc-u-ius = Patroclus, Jan. 3i, Ser-ei-g = Sergius,
Sep. 9: cf Sericdn (gl. Sergiolus), Sg, 451*.
Assimilation of h to /, as in ro/Za, June 7, Nov. 16. for Old- Irish
colno, of d to n, as in slonnemm, Aug. 26 = O.lr. slondem.
Dissimilation, as in lommnan, lomnan, Ap. 4, Nov. lO = O.lr.
lomm-ldn.
Metathesis, as in bastedy Jan. 6 = 0,lr. batsed, Fedlimid,
Aug- 3 = O.lr, Fedetmid, and airdric, July 21 = O.lr, airdirc.
Aspiration of initials is used to express the relative in the
pres. indie, of verbs : see infra p. 261, s. v. chiuran.
Permanent infection of initials appears, as in riu (/riu)
July 27, Oct. 24, fromtha {pkromtkd), Jan, 15.
Eclipsis : n6i cc^t (pronounced g^t). Mar. 4.
Prothetic f, as mf-uageb, June 22, and f-oirbe, Jan. 5.
Contraction : Thus breo, dedc, Duach, 6c, 61, and ua are
always monosyllables, though in Old-Irish they are disyllabic.
So dias. Mar. 27, and triar or tviur, July i, 2, Nov. 27. But
laa, Oct. 3, is still disyllabic, and so are blaid, gUaid, Oct. 26,
Mas, gnlas, in the epilogue (p. 250). soid, Oct. 26, and the names
Doe, Sep. 25, }atr, Oct. 26, Liac, Dec. 17, Tin, June 24, and
7'«(7. July 8. At Oct 2 Diurdn is a trisyllable.
2. Declension.
Next as to declension. Here the principal variations from
Old-Irish paradigms arise (i) from the above mentioned con-
fusion of ~e. -i, and -iu, and (2) from the almost total disap-
pearance of peculiar forms of the neuter gender.' In the vocalic
declension, stems in still exhibit the i<-umlaut in the dat.
sg., {dning, June 2, demutt, Feb. 15, ulc^ May 7, 16, Jan. 6, Sep,
30, trt^nttiud, Sep. 8, deriud June 30, July 31), and the «-ending
in the ace, pi. (c!su May 9, criidu June 16). The transported
' cH (= Lat. centum) sti!) makes its nom, pi, cit, Aug. 24, zg. The n in
flU n-Oiht cit, June zz, is a relic of the neulerformofthe numeral 2 ; and the
transported n in gach n-aiffrcnn, Sept. 5, poims to a neuter aiffrenn borrowed
from Lai. effcremum.
THE LANGUAGE OF THE MARTYROLOGY. »xiii
n (/« before b") is also apparent after the ace. sg. and gen. pi. (fri

4. Adjectives.
In declining adjectives Gorman varies from the Old-Irish
paradigm, first in the nom. pi. of o- stems, by replacing the masc.
by the fem.,* and, secondly, in the dat. pi. by dropping the labial
ending. Thus Aqui!, Scu'iv saera: Idna, Jan. 23, Aug. i, m6ra,
Jan. 23, March 5, Ap. 3. ^ala, Oct. 12. s6era, Feb. 35, July 7.
e line of the epilogue (p. ^50), where Ji/cr (better

/anna, June 20. epscoip tentia, ju\y 21, We have, however.
buidig, Jan. i. na crdbdcig. Ap. 17. na findinoir, July 25. Ex-
amples of the dat. pi. are dona cuirib calma, Jan, I, fri demnalb
dura, Ap. 5, dona minnaib iii^ra, July 1 1 ; but the old ending
is still in moraib, Aug. 2,
Comparison, The only comparatives in the martyrology are
ftrr, Sep, 18, and lugu, June 16, both, apparently, used as super-
latives. No real superlative occurs, and it is probable that,
when Gorman wrote, the superlative forms in -am, -em had been
lost by the language, except as archaisms.
S. Adverbs.
Adverbs such as hi hiucc ' paulatim,' and ind dindid ' singu-
lariter' are not found in this martyrology. Most of Gorman's
adverbs arc formed by prefixing co{l) to adjectives. Thus col-
Idn, Feb. 9, co deginln, Jan. \\, co soraid, June 19, 22, co detmiti,
Aug, i^, CO gh'glan, Nov. 24, Dec. 23. co follan firdntit, Dec. 12.
cofedil, Dec. 32, co liathlam, Ap. 23, co h/binn, Sep. 23. We have
also /a// 'there,' Feb, S, Ap. 2i,rtWtherein,' July 23, aif/w 'hence.'
Dec. 31, sund, sunn, surma, sonna ' here,' Sep. 3, Jan. 2, Aug, 8.
Jan. 4, Feb. 9, Sep. 22, Aug. 13, tair 'in the east,' March 14,
j«(W 'up,' June 30, Sep. 35, and choidche 'for ever,' Ap. 38, lit.
■till night': cf chaidc/te, LL. 260^1 2i.
6. Pronouns.
Absolute personal pronouns are sg. i, vie, Oct. 31, pi. i, inn,
June 3. and with prefixed s, sinn. sind, sinne: sg. 3, in', Sep.
18, pi. 3, iat, Ap. 29, where the -at (like the -no in Ital. eglino)
seems taken from the person-ending of the verb.
Pronominal infixation is still in use — see the Glossarial Index
S. w. arn, m, «, nam, nar, ran, ron, and s. But the forms me
b/raid'yc will bear me,' Oct. 31, bcrdait inn 'they will bear us,'
June 3, prove that in Gorman's time the absolute were beginning
to supplant the infixed pronouns. The infixed pronoun of the
first pi. ar(H) in n-am-anaig 'protects us,' etc., is peculiar to
Middle-Irish. The corresponding pronoun of the second pi.
b(tr{n) occurs in this martyrology as a suffixed pronoun in bar,
Jan. 21, which probably stands for ad-bar 'ye are ': ci,adib,idib,
G.C. 4S&. for ad-iib, id-sib. In corba-m 'utsim,' Feb. 17, Ap,6,/«
is the suffixed pron. of the first sg. A rare suffixed personal pro-
noun is -ait in b^rd-ait, June i,g/bt-ait. Feb. 9, and also, probably.
fig-ait, Feb. 1 1. The demonstrative tin is employed as a
sufl^x in mo-chen-6n, d{n-6n, fir-6n, m6r-dn: see infra p. 386,
and compare the Old-Irish ed-6n ' id est.' And the strange use
of the demonstrative suffix -sn. -st-a without the article is noticed
infra p. 2SS.
y. The Article.
Here in the gen. sg. fem. the apocopated na is always found
for the ancient inna, as in nn hitinsf, Feb. 6. In the nom. pi.
the fern, na supplants the masc. ind, in, (na crdbdeig, Ap. 1 7, nn
Jindmoir,]a[y 21). In the gen.pl. the apocopated ««(«) replaces
the Old-Irish inna(n): tia ndt'r ndichra. July 19, na sairbretli,
Jan. 9, na mllgd, Jan. 21, nal-ldnbreth, Feb. 3, where the « is
assimilated. In the dat. pi. the old labial ending is lost : duna
cuirib, Jan. i, dona minnaib, July 1 1.
8. Nuniemls.
Here one notes that the feminine forms of the numerals 2
{di), lifcoir, teat a\ and 4 {cellieotr, cetlieora) do not occur. Inthc
case of 2 they have been supplanted by the masc. dd. Thus dd
Brigitl, Mar. 9, dd hErein, May 5 ; dd dig. July 7, 10; rfrf mile,
Aug. 9. Ceithre 'four' occurs with a fern, subst., Oct. I3.
Numerals exceeding 100 are 160 sescaarc^t, Aug. 10: 230 tricha

The numeral substantives for persons are dlas, Jan. 27, Mar. 27,
Aug. 20, Oct. 22 ; triar, Feb. 25, or triur, July 2 ; cethrar,
July 10; cSieiur, May 23 (nom. dual da cdicciur, July 2) ; seser
(dat. sg. sesiiir, Jan. 26, Sep. 22, nom. dual dd sesser, Dec. 23);
mdrseisser, March 14 ; {in t-)ochlor, June 8 ; ninbar, Oct. 19 ;
dechenbar, Ap. 23, -bor. May 6, -bar, June I, For triar, in Feb. 27
the numeral subst. for three things, trMe, is corruptly used.
9. The Verb.
The salient points of difference bet\vecn the verbal system of
Gorman, and that of Old-Irish are five. First, the distinctions be-
tween the three conjugations are hardly recognisable. Secondly,
there is much uncertainty in the use of the absolute and con-
joined forms. Thirdly, the enclitic more and more supplant the
orthotonic forms of compound verbs. Fourthly, the relative
endings of the present and future of simple verbs, the perfect,
the /- preterite and the j-future and ^-conjunctive rarely occur.
Fifthly, the old deponential forms are almost all discarded. On
THE LANGUAGE OF THE MARTYROLOGY. sxvii
the other hand, a new termination in -ann, -enn appears in the
3d sg. of the pres. I'ndic act. : in the same tense relativity is
expressed by aspirating the initial ; and a deponential r is found
in the ist sg. of the a- conjunctive of active verbs. The rule
that the initial of the prct. pass, shall not be aspirated is fully
cstabhshed.
Traces of the o- conjugation (the Latin third) are in the pres,
indie, act. sg. 3 (narn-) anaig, June i, (nar) cossain, Sep. 8,
The root-vowel of w-verbs (the Latin first) has no umlaut.
Thus molaim, Feb. 28. pi. i labramm, Jan. 31.
In the /-conjugation (the Latin fourth) we have a solitary
example of the orthotonic form of the ist sg., pres. ind. in at-
cMu ' I see,' Dec. 31 = atckiinm, June 11. Other such verbs,
with umlaut of their root-vowel, arc hiaidimm, guidimm, lai-
mimm.
Absolute forms rightly used are dlmeit, bdgmeil, liiaidiiieit,
July 3, celir, March 20, cartliair, Aug. 20, moitair, Nov. 22,
cardair, Jan. 29.
Absolute forms are wrongly used ((>., used where in Old-
Irish we should have had conjoined forms), in the following
instances: pi. i, dinne, Jan. 1 1, Feb. 8, July 30. drmeit, Jan. 7,
drmit, Ap, 2^, frismbemnait. Dec, 13, 31, 'mo w-iadmait, Dec. 28.

tharla. Jan. i, tuirtnthir, Feb. 2, //V/«, June 1 1, t/tocbaim,/ocraim,
June 2S,/i'irrt, Aug, 15.
The only instances of the relative forms arc anges, March 31 ;
gnias, Ep. 14 ; and b/as, Ep. i, 16.
The only sure instance of the perfect act. is dodcchaid, Oct. 17
Fitair, Jan. 4, Oct, 18, Dec. 15, may be another. Its pl. i,
^wxruw/flroccurs twice in the preface. The perfect passive is repre-
sented by the solitary (nar) maeded, Dec. iS. The/r/M of the pre-
face may be another example of this tense. In glanta, Aug. 3,
and faevitha, Sep. 24, the old pret. passive seems replaced by
the perf. participle.
Examples of preterites active with vocalic ending in sg. 3, are
nar-/f//rt, Jan. 4, nix-fella, June 5, where -a is = O.Ir, -ai.
Of the /-preterite there is only one example, viz., ro siacht,
Jan. 29, which is cognate with tlKfn, 'dtw ' 1 come.'
The j-future and ^-conjunctive arc almost as rare. We have
only sg. 2 xo-fesser, Dec. 23, sg, 3, co //, May ig.Aug. 19.
ron-/iir^, July 7, Dec. 9, na rom ■«//-- sea, Aug. 19, tara, Dec. 9,
and the pi. 3 ^A-A-reset, Ap. 22. An unnatural union of the
stem of the reduplicated j-future and termination of the i-future
is>f/^<^, March 31.
The only old deponential forms in the Martyrology are ro
fesser 'thou wilt or wouldst know,' Dec. 23, and the 3d pi.
ropdar, June 9. But a new r-ending is found in the 1st sg. of
the conjunctive : corop . . anar, Jan, 3, co fa^b^ar, Jan. 3, and
cona hdgur, March 16.
A new ending in -ann, -enn^ appears in the 3d sg. of the pres
indie, act. ; nar benanii. May 21, nar laedend, March 3.'
The initial of the pret pass, is never aspirated : ar-ro-feled,
Feb. [9, ro cummad, May 29, nir (T^ded, Oct. 30, ro/romad, Sep.
12, do-/orbad, Jan. 6. nar /oemad, Ap. 18. The forms nar
maeded, Dec. 8, (O.Ir. na-rd-maeded, with the stress on the ro),
or^onadyMar. 15, ^O.Ir. 6 r6~gonad), mr-crdded, Oct. 50, (O.Ir.
n{ rS cTdded),cor-bam, Feb. 17, Ap. 6, (O. \v.cor6'bd), prove that
in Gorman's time the stress was transferred from the verbal.
particle ro to the first syllable of the verb.
These remarks on the verbal system of the Martyrology would
be incomplete without some further notice of the i^-future active,
and without a collection of the forms of the verb substantive.
The normal ending of the ist sg. of the ^-future is -ai, -tub ;
e.g., Unub, Feb. \^,ft'tiib, June 15, molub, Oct. 28, dliub, Jan. 21.
But Gorman makes it not only -ab, -eb, and -ob,hnt also -db and
-cb. Whether this lengthening of the vowel is due to dialect or,
as I conjecture, to the needs of rime, is not easy to say. The
following examples occur :
Sb: frismbtnab, Nov. 4. -molab,K^x^. 5, Oct. 10,
-fb: -celeb, Dec. 10, -sa^eb, Dec. 8, -dUb, Feb, 4, July 8,

1 0. A'fici suffixes.
Two suffixes occur in Gorman's Martyrology. which have not
been found in Old-Irish documents. They are -nech, which
appears in three adjectives, and -sedt, which appears in the names
of nine female saints.
-nech '. cddnecli, degnech, grddhnecli, et v, infra, p. 284.
-seek : Bicsech. Briuinsech, Comscch, C6emsech, Crrinsech,
Dunscch, Findsech, Gubscch, Luigsech.
The neeh- suffix seems taken from words like cniiiinech, where
the H belongs to the root. The seek- suffix is probably a ' welter-
r bildun^' of the fem. ending in -£s (in aithches, Idiclies, manches,
&c.), borrowed from Welsh -es, and this from Lat. -issa, Gr.
-taira. C/ittriisei:/t']epress' and gatV/secA'a. Coreign woman,' are
Middle-Irish examples of this suffix. It still lives (as -seacli)
m geirseach 'girl.'
1 1. Sytiltix.
So much for the grammatical forms in our Martyrology. It
contains four relics of very early syntax. The first is in the
phrase is Feradaig ingen "and Feradach's daughter,' March 23,
where the genitive precedes, instead of following, the govern-
ing noun. So at Dec. i. for December kalaind. For other
examples of this archaism in Irish and Welsh see Revue celtiqiie, v.
350-351. The second is the occurrence (Sep, 4, 22), nf the datives
(or rather perhaps the instrumentals) Fiachraig, seisiur, without a
preposition. Many instances of this construction will be found
in Rev. celt. v. 349-350. The third is the occasional position of
the noun before the governing verb. Thus fi'clu'in . . . coraig,
Aug. 2. Esi'rge Crist cuimnig, March 2^ ; Coimdn cuimnig,
Sep. 3 ; Genten guidimtn, Sep. 2 ; Corcan ele drmtit, Jan. 7 ;
Mael-Odran raith riarmait, Jan. 10; in cldrenech caraimm,
Jan. 17 ; in citntttidse eobrat. May 1 1 ; in sluag tennso tecetaim.
May 12 ; Fiadna\f\t f^gaim sutina, Nov. 29. The fourth is the
occasional position of the adjective before the noun with which
it agrees. Thus g/an gUrc, May 28, s^im Saerghos, May 30. On
the other hand, the government of the dative by the prepositions
CO ' usque ad,'' fri^ and etir" is distinctly modern, these pre-
positions, in Old-Irish, always governing the accusative,
IV, The Metre of the Martyrology.
Rinnard* is the metre in which the Martyrology of Oengus is
composed. Ritniard M6r,'Grca.X. Rinnard,' is the name of the
metre of the Martyrology of Gorman. It differs from Rinnard
in three respects : first, its stanzas may consist of 4, 6, 8, 10,
1 2, or 14 lines, whereas those of Rinnard consist invariably of
four; secondly, in Great Rinnard, there must be an alliteration
in each line ; in Rinnard, alliteration is only an optional and
occasional ornament : thirdly, in Great Rinnard there must be
an internal assonance in the last two lines of each stanza : in
Rinnard \h\s assonance is optional and occasional.
The laws of Great Rinnard may be stated as follows :
I. Every line must contain six syllables.

THE METRE OF THE MARTYROLOGW xxxi
This rule requires no illustration. But two remarks seem
needed.
First, in pronouncing foreign names, the groups ea^ eOy ia^ ian^
ie^ to, tu, ua, form, as a rule, only one syllable. Conse-
quently Andreas, Teodoit, Simeon, Leonill, Lucia, Abdia,
Lucian, Ciprian, Daniel, Gerion, Leucius, Marius, and Capua are
to be counted as disyllables, Sarabia, Domiiian, Martinian,
Prilidian, Ananias and Satirian, as trisyllables, and Anas-
tassia as a quadrisyllable.^ So, as Zeuss remarks (G. C.^ 941 )»
St. Augustine, in his hymn against the Donatists, pronounces
abundantia, evangelium as quadrisyllables, diabolo as a tri-
syllable, alios as a disy liable ; and this pronunciation is frequent
in the Hiberno-Latin hymns.
Secondly, where two unaccented vowels come together, there
is elision or synizesis.
Thus in the month of January we have :
Jan. 2. ron-bera in drong drongel.
6. Bastedh Isu in oenlo.
9. Isu in Egipt fegaim.
26. CO nderna in drem ch^idhse.
27. Paula Bhethil buadhaigh.
31. Forba in mis do Mhacdhocc.
So where the first vowel is accented and the second
toneless :
Feb. 15. Blauius ba gle in glanfcr.
Ap. 14. rfu i clarnim ar comddl.
May 19. CO tf in gasrad gl^glan.
Aug. 6. non-berat leo is Lugid.
19. CO tf a ndrong im dhailsea.
Sep. 20. Priuait breo asamb^gimm.
' There is an exception to this rule at Jan. 23, where E-mc-rcnHa-na
must be regarded as hexasyllabic. So Iwo, July 3, Ndon, Jan. 17, Pion,
Feb. I, are disyllables : Teogin, Jan. 26, Dionis^ Feb. 8, Mathias, Jan. 30,
Feb. 24, I^aniUr Feb. 27, are trisyllables : Dorothea, Feb. 6, Juliana,
Feb. 16, Gatitieniia, ^ug. 30, Uincentius, Jan. 22, and Pampilius, Feb. 16, arc
quadrisyllables ; and Poientiana, May 19, is a pentasyllable.
xxxii PREFACE,
But where the second of the vowels is accented there is no
elision or synizesis.^ Thus :
Jan. 3. corop accu dnar.*
6. druidh uaisle dia ddhrad.
7. Corcan ele drmeiL
inna dngreit amnois.
16. larloga dn ogda.
21. Paul epscop o Athein.
22. la hAmalgaid aebda.
28. Feil aili do Agna.
mo fnill ar forran.
31. do ^rail ar n-anmann,
2. The last word of each line must be accented on the penult
This, in Irish verse, is almost equivalent to saying that the last
word of each line must be disyllabic. But in Gorman's Marty-
rology about 33 lines end in trisyllables, e,g, : —
Jan. 6. Macra caid mpch^non.
Feb. 2. Apronian indftthid.
Two end in quadrisyllables :
Jan. I. Hermit, Eufrasina.
July 22. Maire Magdal^na.
Three end in pentasyllables :
May 19. is Potentidna,
July 23. and Appollindris.
Aug. 23. ard Appollindris.
And one is composed of a hexasyllable :
Jan. 23. Emerentidna.
It seems to follow from this that trisyllabic improper com-
pounds, such as Cend'fdelad, Ap. 8, Crom-dithruiby May 20,
Derbdara, June 29, Cu-lochay July 11, macu-Bairdy Nov. 27,
are accented on the second syllable.* It is not clear why moc/uf-
non, Jan. 6, is paroxytone. Perhaps the mo- was mistaken, in
popular speech, for mo * my * the atonic possessive pronoun.
» The first line of the stanza for July 12 seems to contravene this rule.
But there Anacleta is a scribal error for Anaclet,
« In this and the following thirty lines the acute accent denotes stress
and not, as usual, length.

deemed to be the same, and k and infected /being disregarded.
Needless to quote lines in which both the alliterating letters are

The rule of syllable-division deducible from the above exam-
plea agrees in almost every respect, with the rules in Latin as
stated by Seelmann' and Lindsay.' Where it difTcrs, namely, in
the treatment of the groups sc, st, sp, sb and ct, it agrees remark-
ably with Spanish, in which language we have, for instance, ves-
ciente, nues-tro, a-postol, hues-fed, es-bozo, elec-to, and not ne-sciente,
nue-stro, apostol, hue-sped, e-sbaso, ele-cto. It is hard to ascertain
the rule in modem Irish. The subject is ignored by all the gram-
marians except O'Molloy and MacCurtin. Theformerwritesinhis
GramnuUica LatinO'hibernica, Romae, 1677, p. Si : In polisyilabis
autem syllabizandis, consona sequens ultimam vocalem prioris
syllabae enumeranda est tamquam attinens ad primam syllabara
subsequentem, immo licet pluressint consonaeut in iasgainackt,
latinc pisciilia, sic fit, nam sff attinent ad secundam syllabam."
The latter writes: "Note that in words of more than one
syllable, compounds excepted, all the middle consonants do
commonly belong to the precedent vowel, as talamh thus tal-mnk^
'the earth.' The double consonant must entirely follow the
precedent vowel, as geall-adh^ 'promise,'" {Tlie English-Irish
Dictionary, Paris, 1732, p. 717.) It will be seen that these gram-
marians agree neither with Gorman nor with each other. Nor,
as r^ards the group sg, do they agree with the Scottish High-
landers, who (as I am assured by Mr. MacBain) ?,^y ias-gaircacht,
not (as O'Molloy said), ia-sgaireaclit, nor (ety mo logically) iasg-
aireaeht.
Exceptions to the rule that every line must contain an alliter-
ation are only these eight : the first lines of the stanzas for March
14, Aug. 3, Sept. I and Oct 1, the third lineof the stanza for May
19, the seventh of the stanza for June 9, the ninth of the stanza

5. /« tAe last two lines of every stansa there must be an
tHtemal assonance, that is to say, a monosyllable, or two
syllables, in the penultimate line must assonate with a mono-
syllable or two syllables in the Interior of the last line. Thus in
the stanzas for Jan. i, buidin assonates with cutribh and
(^Eufrd)slna* with {Afar)tlna, and in the stanza for Jan. J, Jial
assonates with Ciar.
Similar rimes are found in early Italian poetry ;' and in
modern English the following stanza by Mr. Robert Bridges,
affords a still closer parallel :
' Now dewy nights again and rain in gentle shower
At root of tree and flower have Quenched the winter's drouth.
On high the hot sun stnjles, and banks of cloud uptower
In bulging heads thai crowd for miles the dazzling south.'
6. No syllable ending in a consonant can assonate vntk a
pliable ending in a vowel. To this rule there are no exceptions
in the end-rimes. But in the case of interna! assonances we have
two or three instances such as t^mam, g/fglan, Nov. 24 ; ^/iglan,
g/cgar. Jan. 25 ; Crtmech, r^jbreth, March 28 ; athfiV, mathi,
April 16; Fi'lic, <'::gil, Ap. 23 ; /crlonn, r<jdrong, July 31 ; jff-
gridh, yifHdn, Colm&n, Aug, 8.
7. TVm assonating vowels must be the same? The assonating
consonants must belong to the same class.
For the purposes of this rule a periphonic (or umlauted) vowel
is deemed to be the same as the primary vowel,* the diphthongs
ae and oe are identical with long f," and the consonants are
divided into the following four classes :
I. c, t,p,g,d.b?
II. e/i,th,ph,/.
III. gli, dk, bh, I, II, mk, mm, n, nn, {ftd) r, rr, ngJ
IV. s.
* ' Here, as in Sofia from So<l>la, the stress-accent has replaced the pitch-
accent (Evippotrvyr}), with the result of lengthening the accented voweL
' See, for instance, Guido dc le Colonne's verses in Kime di diversi antichi
auleri Tatcani, Vinegia, 1532, p. 113.
' In June 10, Echack rimes with Retheck, which must be read Relheack.
In Jtine C4, Belaigk rimes with dUgar, a scribal error for dltgair.
* Thus cifid^el assonates with clrlmimh, Ap. 14, ms with doss, Sep. 26,
CM^rib with Einnd, Ap. 13.
' Thus Ididlech assonates with nimdrtch, Sep. i, and ^bkinn {i.e. iebhinn)
with Hirind, Sep. 23.
' O'Molloy, and his copyist O'Donovan {Grammar, p. 415) divide this
class into two, one consisting of the surds <:,/, ^, the other of the sonants
g,d,6.
' O'Molloy and O'Donovan divide this class into two, viz. Hve strong,
//, M, nn, Hgy rr, and seven light, bk, dk, gh, mk, /, n, r.
Infected f and s are disregarded.
In the case of groups of consonants it is enough if one of each
group be the same or belong to the same class. Thus cerrfir,

V. The Contents of the Martvrology.
Though Gorman's Martyrology is now for the first time
printed, and thougli it is preserved in only one copy, un-
discovered till the year 1.S47, in the first half of the seventeenth
century it was so well known and admired that Colgan writes of
it as follows :—
B. Marianus (alijs Malmurius O Gorman), Abbas Lughmagh-
densis In Vltonia, composuit metro Hibernico perraro quidem et
elcganti stylo, Martyrologium tempore Gclasij Archiepiscopi
Ardmachani circa annum 11 67, quod in summo pretio habetur
THE CONTENTS OF THE MAKTYROLOCY. xjcrix
et habendum est, turn propter summam operis fidem, turn
propter singularem styli elegantiam. Collegit pleraque ex
Martyrologio Tamlactensi, ut in praefatione ad ipsius Martyro-
Ic^um vetustus scholiastes attestatur ; et refert promiscue ctim
Hibemiae, turn aliarum gentium praecipuos sanctos. (Acta
Sanctorum Hibernitr, Lovanii, 1645, p. 5).
O'Clery, moreover, "made great use of this work in the
compilation of the Martyrology of Donegal, [circ. 1630,] All
the names which he gives without a local designation are from
O'Gorman, as well as those which have short local notices ; of
these last many, if not all, are taken from the scholia" (Todd,
Martyrology of Donegal, p. xvii>.
The poem (so-called) is a collection of mnemonic stanzas —
two for each of the five days, Jan. i, 6, Sep. 30, Nov. i, 10, and
one for each of the other days of the year — commemorating over
three thousand biblical, continental, Anglo-Saxon, British, and
Irish saints, from Abel down to Gilla mo Chaidbeo. Unlike
the martyrologies of Jerome and Tallaght, which commence
with the Nativity (Dec. 25), Gorman's martyrology begins with
the Circumcision (Jan. 1), It is followed by an epilogue in four
quatrains. From beginning to end it is unbrightened by a single
flash of poetic fire, by a single glimpse of nature or human life.
The epithets with which it abounds arc chosen, not because they
are appropriate to the person described, but because they fill up
the line, or enable the writer to comply with the rules as to as-
sonance and alliteration. As Wordsworth somewhere says of the
English verse of the eighteenth century, the language of Gorman is
the language of a man ' composing without his eye on the object.'
Only thrice^ are his strings of names and epithets enlivened by
a reference to a legend or tradition ; and Irish beliefs, manners
and customs are but scantily illustrated by phrases such as
rath tend for a tluissib, 'strong grace on his relics,* June I4,
cathair na caenflcd ' the city of the bright feasts ' (i.e. Heaven),
Dec. 18, cosin coibUid cedtaig 'to the melodious banquet' (another
kenning for Heaven), July 27, in doss diten 'the bush of pro-
tection,' June 10, ar chrudu ni crenfaind ' for herds I could not
buy them,' June 16.
In what, then, lies the value of Gorman's work ? I answer,
first, it is an almost uncorrupted specimen of Gaelic as written
between the years 1166 and 11 74, and dated trustworthy texts
are indispensable to the scientific study of the Gaelic literature
and language ; secondly, it is an example of the elaborate metres
in which the Irish song-smiths delighted, and which influenced
' .See March 15 (the legend of Longinus), May 6 (S. John's escape from
Ihe boiling oil), and July 3 (the translation of S. Thomas). We may

the poetry of Norway and Iceland' ; thirdly, it helps to fill the
gap (Nov. i-Dec. i6) in the Martyrology of Tallaght ; fourthly
it enables us to verify the statements and correct the errors
of the Martyrology of Donegal ; and, lastly, it is an historical
document showing what soldiers of Christ the mediseval
Irish Church especially revered. The linguistic importance
of our Martyrology is sufficiently exhibited in the Glossarial
Index, and in section III of this preface. Its metre is explained
in section IV. The holy persons whom it commemorates
will here be noticed under the following five heads : — (a) Biblical,
C^) Continental, (c) Anglo-Saxon, {d) British (including Armor-
ican), and (t-) Irish. But first as to the forms in which their
names are presented.
The names of non-Irish saints are, as a rule, given by Gorman
in their hibernjcised forms. These are sometimes as unlike the
original as the Chinese representations of Sanskrit words in the
Memoirs of Hiouen Thsang. Who, for instance, could by the light
of nature recognise Hieronymus in drine, Porpkyritis in Fur-
fuir, Ptolomaeus in Toluim, Stephanus in Zefan, or Nasarius
in Nastairt It will therefore be useful, before noticing these
saints, to lay down a few rules for identifying the names in
question.
First, the Irish reflexes of Latin names ending in -us are, almost
always, formed from the gen. sg. Thus A maind comes, not from
Amandus, but from Amandi, vJM/ioi^from Antiochi, ^wafewiuir
from Audomari, Auguist from August!, So with masc. and fem,
stems in d: Agricoil from Agricolae, Agaip from Agapae. So
with stems in <k : Audaic from Audacis. This, no doubt, is due
to the fact that in the ancient Latin martyrologies the names of
saints are in the gen. sg,, governed by the word festum under-
stood.* Names in -ius, -ia, -eius, and -es are hibemicised by
dropping the termination and umlauting the preceding vowel
when it is a, e, o or w. Thus Agaip from Agapius, Almaich from
Almachius, ./4wW«/ (Amantius), .>4«(U/(WJ (Anastasius), .ff«««</
(Remedius), Areid (Arcdius), ArsHn (Arsenius), AppoUoin
(ApoIIonius), Procoip (Procopius), Aputl (Apuleius), Diogen
(Diogenes). Stems in « exhibit the nasal: Arion, Bauon,
Rodott, Trudoti, Musin, Nason. But the Latin nominatives
Agatho, Plato occur. Names in -Antts, Sna simply drop the -usy

As to the vowels : a is elided in Branwald (Branwalatr),
inserted in Petar (Petrus), and assimilated in Ermogoir
( Hermagoras) : pretonici*is assimilated in Nicofoir (^iK-q^poii),
and becomes a in Patrocus, Leodagair, Garalt, Uarburga, and
the Irish Dar-frca. In Zoa (Ztuf}) final e becomes S owing,
probably, to the shifting of the stress to the first syllable: / is
broken in Helair (Hilarius), elided in Teodoirc (Theodoricus),
inserted in Gillibert (Gilbertus), Sereig (Sergius), expressed by
y in Ypolit: o becomes a in Carpofair (Carpophorus), and u
in Furfuir (Porphyrins) : w Is inserted in Patroculus (Patroclus):
y is generally represented by i or ai (Ctprian, Ciriac, Crrill,
Did/m, Dion/s, S?agrius, PoUcarpus, Eut«ic), but also by e
(Zephffrin), and u (Satwr, Furfair),
As to the diphthongs : ae and oe are regularly represented by e,
as in C^sar, Emit, Emilian, Pretectus, Pretextait, Pan terms,
Celestinus, Febe : au becomes d in Pdl, u in Usail/e and, probably,
PulUh (leg. Pitlicli): eo is represented by eu in Neutker
(Neotenis) and, conversely, eu by eo in Teoseit (Theuseta).
As to the semi-vowels: j,(y') is dropt in Enair (Jenarius), and
w {v) in Edildld (Ethelwald). In Drothoib (Droctoveus) v is
represented by (aspirated) b. The Anglo-Saxon p (it') is
expressed by » or k«.
The consonants exhibit some noteworthy alterations. Thus
c becomes / in Bonefait, Patian : while it is doubled in Atticc,
Maurice, Mederkc, Tarsicc, and Ursaicc, and sinks to g in
Paragoda (Paracodes). In Auscint (Auxentius) and Usaille
(Auxilius), X (is) is simplified to s.
The velar guttural ^ seems represented bye in Cartus, Cirin,
and possibly by^ in Pincto. In L6th (Lotos) and Sotherl^ottz),
vowel-flanked / is ' aspirated ' more hJbemico. P is either kept,
or dropt, as in Toluim (Ptolemaeus), or doubled, as in Appolli-
tiaris, or changed to f, as in Frimus (Primus), Furfuir (Porphy-
rius), or v as in Euolan. In Eleusip and Melasip, double p is
singled. Pk is represented by / {Paron, Ampian, Pampil,
Simproin), hyf {Febe, Eu/rais, Trifon, Trifonia, Zefan), or by
f{Effr«nm).
The mediats g, d, b, are provected respectively to c, I, p, in
Radicuind (Radigundis), Meiteit (Medeteus). Estras (Esdras),
Mel/wit (Methodius), and Puplius (Publius). In Esippus
(Hegesippus). intervocalic g disappears. In Teothota (Theodota)
and TtUlia (Thaddaeus) d and dd are represented by ik, here
probably the sonant dental spirant, just as in Hiruath (Herodes)
and (plwtit (ephodus), it is the corresponding surd. In Balutna
(Balbina) and U\r\uan (Urbanus) the groups lb, rb have
respectively become Iv, rv, as they would do in the mouths
of the British teachers, from whom the Irish probably learnt
these names. British phonetics also explain the tk in the river-
name Orthanem (Jordan) = Welsh lorddonen.
The aspirated guttural ch becomes c in Cionia, Crisaint,
Crissogoin, Crist, Acilleus, Pacomius, Scolastica, but is kept in
auslaut in Epairch (Eparchius), and Epimakh (Epimachus),
In Antioig (Antiochus), it represents the (irA-sound. Tithic
(Tychicus) is probably a scribal error for Ticbic.
Except in Hieronymus, the initial // of foreign words seems
to have been silent to Irish ears. Hence h is dropt m. Aucbertus,
Ermogin, Ermogoir, Esippus (Hegesippus), Ipolit, Ypolit, and
■pt^^yxAm kAbuind, hErein, hlrein, kUUtbrith. But in Cirine
(Hieronymus) it is represented bye. Internal h becomes ch in
Manaclten (Manahen), and g in Ermengilda (Eormenhild). Final
h becomes^ in Uarburga (Werburh), and Elfegus (Elfheah).
The dental aspirate regularly becomes /. Thus in anlaut Tatfia,
Teodoil, Teodoir, Tirsiis, in inlaut Antim, Catariria, Citinus, Sos-
tenes, and in auslaut lacint. In Timoitk it is preserved intact.
As to the liquid and nasal consonants; ^ is dropt in auslaut, in
Branwald (Branwalatr) ; n is lost in Birstan (ByrnstfLn), and
becomes m in Sereiin (Serenus) : conversely in becomes n in
Filoron (Philoromus) and Trophin (Trophimus) : / is doubled in
GiUibert (Gilbertus) : m is doubled in the place-name, Rodamm
(Rodomum).
The dental spirant s when flanked by vowels is regularly
doubled. Thus Bassil (Basileus), Bassilis (Basilissa), Crissogoin
(Chrysogonus), Sissinnius. Final s is dropt in Paragoda (Para-
codes) and Parmena (Parmenas). Double s\% singled in auslaut
in Bassilis. InMaragdus (Smaragdus) the initial j is dropt. In
Carist (Charisius) it is strengthened by t. Nicoscrait (Nicest ratus),
if not a scribal error for Nicostrait. is an instance of the change
of st to sc so common in Manx. Initial st is expressed by z in
Zefan (Stephanus), and perhaps in Zaclieus (Stacteus ?), Sep. zS.
The soft spirant s is generally represented by z {Zac/tair,
Zenofi, Zeferin, Zoo) ; but once by s {Senob), and twice by st,
(StenoH, Naslair). In the place-name Nasaint (Nazianzus) ns
(= tist) has become nt.

The New Testament personages are our Lord, the B. V. Mary,
her spouse Joseph, John the Baptist, his father Zacharias, the
Apostles, the Evangelists Mark and Luke ; the Holy Innocents,
Jan. 4, the protomartyr Stephen, Gamaliel, Simeon, Longinus,

Aug. 4. Phoebe, Sep. 3, and Trophimus, Nov. 28.
In these commemorations Gorman, as a rule, agrees with the
western m a rtyro logics. The following deserve special notice.
The Circumcision commemorated with the octave of the Nativity,
Jan. I. The three commemorations, at Jan. 6, of our Lord's
baptism, the adoration of the Magi, and the conversion of water
into wine. The two commemorations, at Jan. 7, of the departure
of Christ from Eg>'pt, and the beginning of His fast in the wilder-
ness. His victory over the Devil, Feb. 15. His Conception and
His Crucifixion commemorated on the same day, March 25.
His Resurrection fixed on March 27, and His Ascension on May
5. The report at Rome of the Assumption of the B. V. Mary,
commemorated with the Cathedra s. Petri on Jan. 18, her
Nativity. Sep. 8, her Conception, Dec. 8. The three findings
of the head of John the Baptist at Feb. 24, Feb. 27, and May
25 — the third finding, apparently, from a Greek source ; his
nativity at June 24, his conception, Sep. 24, This last festival
is frequent in Anglo-Saxon calendars : it is given in two of the
codices of the Hieronymian Martyrology ; but it does not occur
in the Roman missal. The commemoration of Longinus at
March 15. The mission of the Apostles, July 15, Mary
Magdalen, July 22. The simultaneous commemoration of S.
John and S. James on Dec. 27, which seems attributable to
Gallican influence.' Noticeable also are the feasts of Germanus
of Auxerre on July 31 and Aug. i : the holding of the first
synod of Nicaea (June 19); and, lastly, (on April 25) what
seems to be the fast of the Greater Litany.
(i) Continental Saints.

said, as Mr. Warren has said of the Leofric Kalendar, that " the
greater number of these Festivals are the common propertj' of

early Christendom, and commemorate martyrs in the early
heathen, especially in the Decian and Diocletian persecutions."
These saints are of all nationalities, although as might be ex-
pected in a western Martyrology, western names predominate.
The later saints are those that throw light on the character of
any Martyrology or Kalendar ; and in the present case it may
be said that, with ten exceptions,' every saint here commemo-
rated, who died after a.u. 500, is connected with France, Bel-
gium, Spain, Great Britain or Ireland.

Mr. Dewick has noticed the number of Winchester saints
included in the above list — Elfegus, Swithun, Hedda, Grimbald,
Athelwald, Birin — to whom he adds the Breton saints ludoc and
Branualator, whose names appear in the Winchester Kalendar
printed by Hampson, Medii ^vi KaUndarium, i, 422. The
reason may perhaps be found in the connexion between St.
Swithun's (Winchester), and Glastonbury,' a favourite resort of
Irish pilgrims, perhaps' in the use by Gorman of a copy of the
Icalcndar just referred to.

certainly the Martyrology ascribed to S. Jerome,' the lesser
Roman Martyrology,' and the Martyrologies of Ado,' Usuard,*
and Baeda.' As to the Kalendars which he says that he used,
it is impossible to speak with any confidence. He may have
had copies of the Leofric Kalendar." and of one or other of the
Kalendars in the three Cotton MSS. (Galba, A. xviii.,' Vitellius,
L. xviii. and Titus, D. xxvii.) published by Hampson in his MedU
Aevi Kalcndarium, \. 397-446. But this is mere conjecture.

Thus we have the octaves —

Vigils are of rare occurrence ii
the following eight are found in Gorman's Martyrology, namely,
the vigils —

Paul. 27. of SS. Simon and
Aug. 9, of S. Laurence. Jude.
14. of the Assumption. 31. of All Saints,
Nov, 29. of S. Andrew.
From his use of the term 6ene to denote a vigil, it would
seem that in Gorman's time, vigils were observed by fasting.
Neither octaves nor vigils are found in the case of the Irish
saints, whom we now proceed to notice.

{e) Irish Saints.
The Irish saints before A.iX 666, the year of the great mor-
tality, are divided by an author who wrote not later than A.D.
750,' into three orders. The first was composed of S. Patrick and
350 other bishops, who had the same mass. Easter and tonsure.
They were also ministered to by subintroduct^, a-vveiaaKToi or,
as tJie Irish called tliem, siair, 'quia supra petram Christum
fundati, veiitum tentationis non timebant' This order included
Britons, Franks, Scots (i.£. Irish) and " Romans,' i.e., subjects of
the Roman empire. It lasted till A.D. 543, or according to the
Four Masters, 538. The second order appears to have been
founded by the British Church after a more or less complete apos-
tacyof the Irish," It was composed offew bishops and many pres-
byters, in number 300. They received a mass (liturgy ?) from
SS. David, Gildas, and Cadoc, but dissented in this respect
{diversas missas ceUbrabant), and had different 'rules' or
monastic regulations. They shunned the consortia and services
of women, and excluded them from their monasteries. This
order lasted till 599 or thereabouts. The third order was only a
hundred in number, mostly presbyters. They were hermits,
living on herbs and water, and despised private property {propria
conUmnebant). They had different rules, masses, tonsures and
Easters. The last eight of them were swept away by the Yellow
Plague in the year 666.
Of the saints celebrated by Gorman, the following (arranged
alphabetically) belong to the first of these orders :
Ailbe, Sep. 12; two Ailills, Jan. 13. July i; AuxiHus or
Usaille. Feb. 7 ; Ben.Jn, Nov. 9 ; Bed-ied. Mar. S ; Bron, June 8 ;

Z93), and De Smedt and De Backer {Acta Sanctorum Hibemiae, coll.
161 -164).
* Another relapse into paganism took place about a.d. 357, when the
vikine inroads led many of the Irish to regard Thor as stronger than Christ,
see ikrci Fraemenis of Irish Annals, p. 138. That the Picts, also,
apostatised and were reconverted appears from the Life of S. Kentigem,
• Oddly enough, Gorman makes no mention of larlaithe of Tuain, one of
ihe second order of saints, whose day is Dec 26.
The following belong to the second order:

THE CONTENTS Of THE .VAKTyKOI.OGY. kUx
With regard to the other Irish saints and their names men-
tioned in the Martyrology it will be enough to notice : —
Firstly, the large number of holy women commemorated by
Gorman, and the contrast in this respect which his work offers
to the lists of Cymric saints.'
Secondly, the fondness of Gorman and his glossator for groups
of three and seven. Thus we have "three daughters of Eltin."
March 15, three sons of Eogan, May I9, three sons of Dimma,
Nov. I, three sons of Ere, Nov, 12; seven bishops of Druim
Airbelaig, Jan. 15. of Tech na comairce. May 28, in Aelmag,
Aug. 23, of Cluiin Caa, Oct. 3. of Cell (Druim) Tidil, Nov. 1 :
seven sons of Ednius. May 22, of Stiallan, Oct. 27, of Aed, \iitc.
20. of Drctell, Dec. 22 ; seven daughters of Fergus, May 24. A
similar fondness for grouping churches in sevens is shown in the
Tripartite Life of S. Patrick, pp. 154, 160, 16S. But this may
have been suggested by the seven apocalyptic churches in Asia.
Thirdly, the paucity of names beginning with ci'lc, dub, s.ndgilla.
Fourthly, the number of names (improper compounds) of
which the first element is cil 'hound,' der (proclitic dar)
'daughter.* fcr, 'man,' mac 'son,' mael 'tonsured,' "servant'
(\V. wee/), and the second a name or noun in the gen. sg.
Fifthly, the occurrence of two-stemmed names like Deg-itge
'good prayer," (7(V-f///«' 'bright fame,' Lomm-chii ' hate hound,'
Lug-thigern 'little lord.' A/id-gus, Necht-lecc, Sdr-bilc, Soer-gus.
where the former stem is adjectival, and Ldm-ruad, Mad-dub,
Mael-odar, Tel-dub, where the latter clement is an adjective."
Sixthly, the occurrence of names such n& Dererce ' daughter of
the sun.' Mac liacc ' son of a stone,' Mac cuerthainn ' son of a
mountain -ash,' which seem to have been handed do^-n from
primeval sava^er}-. So Circe was daughter of Helios, the
Oneidas and Dacotahs claim descent from stones, and the
Dryopes were a race of men born of ash-trees.
Seventhly, the vast number of pet-names, Kosenamen, formed
cither from substantives and adjectives, either by the diminutival
suffixes, mentioned supra, p. xxiv, or from the original names,
by prefixing the possessive pronouns meaning wz/and thy. Both
thesectasscs of names will be found infra in the Index of Persons.
As to Gorman's authorities for the Irish saints whom he com-
memorates, we may safely aver that he used the Ft'lire of Ocngus,
the Martyrology of Tallaght, and the tenth-century N6ebsendtas^

GORMAN.
or, as Colgan calls it, Menologium Geiualogicum. The
Martyrology of Cashel (circ. 1030) can hardly have been one
of the ' ancient books of the Gaels ' to which he refers in his
preface.
VI. The Glosses.
So much for the text and contents of the Martyrology. Most
of the glosses are (i) lexicographical, (2) genealogical, or (3) topo-
graphical. The lexicographical glosses are collected infra in
p. 252. The glossator's mistakes as to the meanings of cadia,
murmaig, athbath, and crobdn prove that he wrote a considerable
time after the text was composed. The genealogical and topo-
graphical glosses have been largely utilised by Colgan, and many
have been transferred to the Martyrology of Donegal. When
and by whom they were written does not appear. Perhaps when
the history of the Irish language is better known, their dale may
befixed approximately (0 by the survival of the w-umlaut in
thedat. sg. ((/«>/W//, Nov. i,gl. 14, «'««//, Nov. 17, gl. ^.deiscdnrt,
Dec. 11, gl. i) : (2) by the survival of the fern, numeral teora
{leora cai//ec/ta, M^y 22, gl. 6; but Iri ccalln, Dec. Ii. gl. 6) :
(3) by the pres. ind. sg. 2, dirm/ie, Jan. 15, g!. 7 : (4) by the pret.
pass. pi. 3, coro marbait, Ap. 17, gl. 3: (5) by the pronominal
compound 6-n-a ' from his,' June 3, gl. 2, where the n is borrowed
from the organic forms coM-a, iarti-a, riati-a, and, lastly, by the
prepositions fri and seek with the dative (fri ddmliaibh, Ap. 1 5,
gl. 3, sech deinhttaibli. May 31, gl. 5).
At Jan. I, gl. 4. Feb. 8, gl. 6, Ap. 17, gl. 3, Ap. 23, gl. I, May
3, gl. I. June 3, gl. 2, Aug. 11. gl. 3, and Aug. 24, gl. i, the
glossator has recorded traditions relating to the lives of eight of
the saints commemorated in our Martyrology. His mention of
holy lepers, at Jan. 28, gl. 5, March 16. gl. 4, and May 21, gl. 6,
exemplifies the devotion paid to those unhappy persons in the
Middle Ages — a devotion probably due to the belief that our
Lord Himself was a leper. See the Tripartite Life, p. cxcvi.
All the interlinear, and most of the marginal, glosses are in the
handwriting of the scribe of the text, namely, Michael O'Clery.
The glosses preceded in the present edition by mati. rec. are all,
1 think, by John Colgan, the Franciscan hagiologist.
VII, Remarks on the Present Edition.
In the present edition the text and glosses have been punc-
tuated : contractions have been extended, but the extensions
are always expressed by italics : proper names have been spelt
with initial capitals : omitted letters have been supplied in
brackets : hyphens separate the transported « and / from words
);E.\f.4KKS ON THE PKESENT EDITIOW U
beginning with vowels : an apostrophe has often (but not always)
been put where a vowel has been lost at the beginning of a
word ; and, lastly, the proclitics have been severed from the
words to which, in the manuscript, they are respectively pre-
fixed. Wherever I have corrected the scribal corruptions men-
tioned above (p. xxi. note i), I have given in a footnote the lection
of the MS. The dotted g, d, b, and m, are represented respec-
tively by gh, dh, bh, and /«//.
So much for the text and glosses.
The translation makes no pretension to literary merit. It
does not attempt to reproduce the metre, alliterations, and
assonances, which Gorman handles like a master. It is, in
fact, a mere tentative "crib,' intended to facilitate the under-
standing of the original, and sometimes falling short of the
intention. The vocabulary of Middle-Irish prose is now fairly
well known. But the signification of many of the words and
phrases used by the Middle-Irish poets is still far from being ascer-
tained. Cellologists will probably differ as to the meanings I have
ventured to assign to aifhnevim, athbath, bar, b^said, brigrus,
dalla, dmet, comad, comaig, crdbdn, cuidmid, ddtbill, dathratk,
doibit. elgna, engach, fodlack, gangda. glegar. gribda, micrend.
Ham. rSind tairbirt, tarbech, tinniu, todil, tuillmcch and urlann.
For light on these obscure words, most of which are. so far as
I know, a-iraf Xeyd/iefn, Celtic scholars will be duly grateful.
The glossarial index contains (including compounds) about
MOO words. It is meant to be a supplement to the only
trustworthy MiddJe-Irish dictionary which has yet been pub-
lished — the Worterbuch of Prof. Windi-ich. Words found in
that dictionary have therefore, as a rule, been omitted.
The identifications in the index of places have, for the most
pan, been compiled from the voluminous works of O'Donovan,
Reeves, and Hennesay. This index comprises 1)47 places, and
may perhaps be useful to students of Irish ecclesiastical topo-
graphy. For those who are interested in the legends connected
with most localities in Ireland, I have inserted references to
the prose talcs of the Dindsenchas, recently published in the
Rtinif Celligue. But those who believe that they can discover in
Irish place-names traces of a pre-Celtic population will find
nothing here to support their theories.
In forming the index of persons — about 3450 in numbcr—I
have often been painfully aware of my ignorance of hagiology.
But I have used to the best of my ability, the Latin marty-
rologies and kalendars mentioned supra, p. xlvi. the Marfy-
rehgium Romatium, Mr. Warren's edition of the Leofric
Kalendar, the Irish Martyrologies of Oengus, Tallaght, and
Donegal, and the Annals published by O'Donovan and Hen-
^
Ill PREFACE,
nessy. I have also given references to the Irish lives of saints in
the Book of Lismore and to the fine collection of such lives
preserved in the Bibliotheque Royale, Brussels. The situs of
their Latin lives, which abound in matter for students of Irish
folklore, topography and philology, are sufficiently known from
the P^res De Smedt and De Backer's edition of the Codex
Salmanticensis, from the late Bishop Reeves' account of the
Codex Kilkenniensis, and from the Rev. W. D. Macray's des-
cription of the Bodleian MSS. Rawl. B. 485, and Rawl. B. 505.
In conclusion, I perform the pleasant duty of acknowledging
help of various kinds and degrees from the Rev. E. S. Dewick,
Prof Strachan, Prof. Kuno Meyer, Father Edmund Hogan, S.J.,
and the Rev. W. D. Macray. The courtesy of the officials in the
Bibliotheque Royale also deserv^es acknowledgment

MARTYROLOGY OF GORMAN.
Preface.
'T'HIS is the place wherein this martyrology was composed,
^ Cnoc na n-Apstol, * The Hill of the Apostles/ in Louth. At
the time of its composition Rory O'Conor was king of Ireland,
Gelasius^ was (saint) Patrick's successor, (and) Aed O'Caillaidhe
was bishop of Oriel. Mael-Maire O'Gorman, abbot of the
aforesaid Hill, composed it. And besides the seeking of heaven
for himself and for everyone who should sing it through, 'tis this
that impelled him to make it, the fewness of the saints of
Ireland whom Oengus brought into his martyrology, and the
multitude of the saints of the rest of the world for whom the
Church has appointed festival and mass (but whom) Oengus has
left out, and (lastly, because) a great number of those whom he
brought in were not arranged on the days on which the Church
celebrates their festivals. And this was surely, as we have
ascertained, the reason why Oengus did so, because it was
thus in the Martyrology of Tallaght, out of which he composed
his F^lire.
For sake of Almighty God and for sake of the Saints for
whom this work of art was made, let honour be paid to it, and
let it be transcribed. Let the old recite it from books and let
them induce the young to commit it to memory.
If errors and defects are found therein, let the erudite correct
them and add (what may be needed) j but let them not spoil the
course of the poem.
Now let every one know that 'tis in the ancient books of the
Gaels themselves that we have found the knowledge of the
festivals of the Gaelic Saints whom we have brought into the
work of art, and that 'tis in martyrologies and in kalcndars
that we have found the knowledge of the rest of the Saints.
But much labour and attention was spent- in searching for them
all.
Now * Great Rindard ' is the name of the metre in which this
martyrology has been composed.^
* Gclasius, i.e., Gilla mac liac 1073 (the date of his death)

Dalliln mac forgail, from Maigen, Jan. 29, the author of the Antra Choluimb

Colla, and mac forgail means 'son of testimony,' because he used to
testify the truih {roAztia forgled irnnia, Egerton 1782 fo. ). Again, it Is
said that Forgtil was his mother's name : but then we should have had

be transposed, the three cldrenig being, according to Mart. Tairti. 1
Balthine, Seginc and Crondn. Hence in the translation, p. 37, for 1
Crania read Valerius, and /o/- Valerius «arfCr6nin. ro siacht loelldr I

song, which begins, Ins slille Land! Wer leitet uns hiniiber?
P. 27, note b, add The ' unintelligible ' verse in Hampaon i. 398, should be
corrected thus: Ast Jani fines signat Aed famine Fema, ' Maeddc ol

P. 36, Feb. 14. The last two lines would perhaps be belter rendered thus ;
'of the troop to thee, O man, be all whom thou hasi entreated.'
P. 3S, Feb. 17. Fintan is thus commemorated in Galba A xviii : Tres

P. 60, March 22, gl. i. Here, as in May 2, gl. 1, and Nov. 27, gl. I. siur,

(where ftair and n'ur are wrongly rendered). See Mr. Olden's paper

ADDITIONAL NOTES.
', ?8, Ap. |6. Here Gorman mistakes Calixius, the Corinthian martyr,
for CalixtuB the pope, whose day is Oct. 14. j
*. 92, May 9. The translation to ConstanCmopIe of St. Andrew's relics is |
here commemorated. See U5ua.rd. \
'. 96, May 15. The 'seven bishopsout of Spain' were, according to Usuand, J
Torqualus, Tesiphon, Secundus, IndaJecius, Cecilius, Esicius and '
Eufrasius. '
',98, May 17. As Mart. Tantl. has at this day, Ingena Garbain, in the 1
plural, we should probably correct line 7 thus : lith ingen nglan
nGarbain, and then iranslate, ' the festival of GarbSn's pure daughters,
to speak of it well is no sorrow.'
May ig. DomniSc seems already commemorated at Feb. 13,
'. 106, May 30, Gobbin is already commemorated at Feb. 13.
*. 1 10, June 4. It is possible that mthntmm here and at Sep. 5 may be a
verbal noun (!ike tarcemm, Oct. 33) in the dat. sg. If so, translate diar
n-aithnemm by 'to recognise us' or 'to commend us,'
'. 123, note c. add Obitus Lugide Lis moer, AU. 591.
'. 124^ June 26, I. 5, should perhaps be corrected thus ; Maxent in va&r
mindaa 'Maxeniius this great diadem.'
June 27, 1. 3. If we correct na farrad into 'na /arrad, 'in his
company,' wc get the alliteration now lacking.
'. 125, June 27, I. 2, for who follows read (whom) I have followed.
'. 126. June 29, 1. 4, If we omit the prosthetic / of Faeldobair we get the 1
alliteration now lacking.
. 117, June 19, 1. 2, read Ael-dobair : I. 3, omit to.
. 130, July 5. As this Fergus was Huammach's descendant we should
translate lines 4 and 5, as if they were transposed : ' Etiin, fair, modest,
virginal : Fergus, the high saint, Huammach's descendant.'
.131, note b, addhn natalis, infra Nov. 1 1.
. 134, July 1 1. This Benedict is commemorated at March 21.
. 136. This line as it stands is ungrammatical. Read : Fdca fand I
nofmlfoircd, ' let feeble Phocas succour me."
. 136, July 15, I. 8. Commdn is already commemorated at May 15.
. 138, July 16,1. I. //i/uriiOT seems a copyist's error for Hilarin ^ Hilarious.
July 19, 1. 4. The alliteration now lacking will be got if we correct
B might alter
;yt
'. 148, Aug. 3, r. I. To get the necessary alliteraiio:
Fagbail to Tocbail ' elevatio.'
'. 152, Aug. 7, I. 5, ////an'ra. should probably be Hilarian =,Hilarianus.
Aug. 10, I. 5,_^rrorogf'ir we should perhaps read riirogfir ' very much
of a choice man,' and thus gel the alliteration (with njgfir) a '
internal rime (with bS), which are now lacking.
'. 1 56, Aug. 1 5, 1. 5, Umm should certainly be corrected to lemtn, assonating
with seng.
'. 160, Aug. 19. Mochta is already commemorated at March 24.
Aug. 20, 1. 6, f hurpair should certainly be corrected into Furphwr
■=, Porphyrius.
'. 16a, Aug. 24. 1. 8. I now see that RoiUHmm is the gen. sg. of Radamm=
RodomuDi, one of the forms which Ro/emngus assumed, in the Middle
Ages, and that it should accordingly be rendered by ' of Rouen.' The
Rodin of Mart. Don. at Aug. 24 is probably due to mistaking this
place-name for the name of a saint.
'. 164, Aug. a6, 1. 7. Foelin is already commemorated at Jar
. 167, Aug. 30, L I. Adaucht ^ Adauctus. The origin of this strange

P. i;o, Sep. 4, 1. 7. Bukkbirt altered from Suicbert to alliteraie with Birin.
According to Ado, Suicbert's canoniiation (not his translation) is com-
memorated on this day. In Anglia, commemoratio sancii Birini
episcopi Dorcacensis et coafessoris. Kodem die, tnuislatio sancti
Cuthberti episcopi Lindisfamensis. Item, canoniiatio sancti Suicbertl
episcopi Verdensis [i.e. of Kaiserwerth] et confessoris.

the feast of her translation. Aduenius reliquiarum Scethi liliae

P. 172, Sep. 8, I. 7, nar ckossain yields no satisfactory meaning. But if
(with Prof. Strachan) we delete the A as a scribal error, and regard
the -nr as the infixed pers. pron. of pi. 1. the expression would mean
'who defends us.' Note c in p. 173 should then be cancelled.
note a, add But Hirroit. Start, has at Sep. 8 ' Benevcnto civiiate,
natalis sanctorum Senoti, Januarii, Fisti, Acutl, Desiderii.' Can the
name be the same as that of Senuli, an Egyptian anchorite of the fifth
century, once famous for his opposition to the heretic Nestorius ?
P. 174, Sep. 10, 1. 3. This Findian is already commemorated at Feb. it.
Sep. 12, 1. I, Gorman's 'luuenlus,' 'Sirius' should apparently be
Evenlius,' 'Syrus.'
P 178, Sep. 18, 11. 3, 3, are corrupt. Perhaps 1. 3 (which lacks an alliteration)
should be ferr hi el isfindgeia, ' best is he because he is a blessed birth,'
and 1. 3 should certainly be Feendclath frit ckabair.
P. 184, Sep. 27, As Fintan was Coppiin's son (Mart. Tarn!.), lines 4 and S
should be transposed. The translation would then run thus : " Coppin'i
harmonious son, Fintan himself against plunderings, Petrus," etc.
P. 186, Sep. 30, 1. 6. This-Bresal is already commemorated at May iS.
1. 14. Perhaps we should read mo Chonna miir cAanaimm
'my great Conna whom I sing.' So with the passaye, Mo Choemoc
mar chanaimm, Nov. 3.
P. 188, Oct. 2, 1. 1. This Eusebius is already commemorated at Sep. 36.

Beronici, Pelagiae, et aliorum quadraginta novem.
P. 300, Oct. 33, 1. 3. Seueir. Here Gorman probably means the vigil of
Severinus, whom he commemorates (as Seuerin) at Oct. 23.
P. 204, OtX. 26, 1. I, Marcian. Is this meant for Mardianus ? I. 2. Odhrin,

P. 309, Nov. 1, 1. 4. 1 would now regard Ma/'i/as a verb in the imperative
